Inventor: STAVA ELLIOTT K
IPC: B23K9/09
Filed: 2000-06-21
Abstract: An electric arc welding apparatus comprising at least a first consumable electrode and a
second consumable electrode movable in unison along a welding path between the edges of two
adjacent, mutually grounded plates, a first power supply for passing a first welding current at a first
low frequency between the first electrode and the two plates, a second power supply for passing a
second welding current at a second low frequency between the second electrode and the two plates,
where each of the power supplies includes a three phase voltage input operated at line frequency, a
rectifier to convert the input voltage to a DC voltage link and a high frequency switching type
inverter converting the DC voltage link to a high frequency AC current, an output rectifier circuit
to provide a positive voltage terminal and a negative voltage terminal, and an output switching
network operated at a given low frequency for directing a pulsating welding current at the given low
frequency from the two terminals across one of the electrodes and the plates, and a circuit for
independently adjusting the given low frequency so the value of the first low frequency of the first
power supply is different from the second low frequency of the second power supply.

Abstract: In an intake-air quantity control apparatus for an
internal combustion engine with a variable valve timing
system, an electronic engine control module has a
microprocessor programmed to perform selecting one of
a first control mode in which an intake-air quantity of
the engine is controlled by adjusting the throttle
opening, and a second control mode in which an intake-air
quantity of the engine is controlled by adjusting the
intake-valve closure timing. The microprocessor is
programmed to perform calculating a desired value of the
intake-air quantity based on engine operating conditions,
in accordance with a predetermined time-delay
characteristic between initiation of adjustment of the
throttle opening and an actual change in an internal
pressure in the intake-air passage. The microprocessor
is also programmed calculating a target throttle opening
based on the operating conditions, and setting a target
intake-valve closure timing at a basic intake-valve
closure timing, when the first control mode is selected.
Conversely when the second control mode is selected, by
means of the microprocessor, the target throttle opening
is set at a predetermined throttle opening, and the target
intake-valve closure timing is calculated based on the
desired value of the intake-air quantity.

Abstract: A drive gear (37) having integral drive teeth (37a) is rotatably mounted
on a transmission shaft (36) for transmitting power to front wheels, and a
movable clutch member (52) having integral driven teeth (52a) engageable with
the drive teeth is slidably but non-rotatably mounted on the transmission shaft.
A spring (54; 54A) for biasing the movable clutch member into a direction of
causing engagement of the driven teeth with the drive teeth is inserted at a
part thereof into an axial bore (52b) in the clutch member. A piston (54) is
slidably fitted in a cylinder member (55) which is fixedly mounted on the
transmission shaft at a radially inward location of the drive and driven teeth.
The transmission shaft includes a fluid passage (60) which applies fluid
pressure to the piston such that the piston is moved so as to move the movable
clutch member into a direction of causing disengagement of the driven teeth from
the drive teeth. The front wheel drive clutch of this structure is small in the
number of parts, is compact in its axial length, and is rich in durability.

electron beam welding is applied to the coupling portion
67 of the piston assembly 51 in a near vacuum atmosphere.
After the electron beam welding, a hollow space 68 in the
piston assembly is sealed hermetically and contains a

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dynamic routing of wireless communications. More
particularly, wireless communications are dynamically routed by marking, by a
softswitch, every endpoint participating in a call and as the entry for a marked endpoint is
updated a message is generated and sent to the softswitch. Upon receiving such a
message, the softswitch re-computes the necessary new resources for maintaining the call
and (i) instructs such new resources to negotiate media transfer, (ii) after receiving an
acknowledgement from the new resources, transmits appropriate call initiation messages
to such resources; and (iii) transmits call release messages to the prior, i.e., old, resources
supporting the call. Advantageously, selection of the requisite resources to participate in
a particular is driven by the knowledge of the communications network topology. As
such, resources are selected which are topologically closer to the endpoint thereby
increasing the efficiency of the network resources on a network-wide basis.
